"I work in ceramic material, which dictates the subject, technique, form, texture and color. The work arises from an internal order and a constant need to create. It constitutes the essence of my existence. All the artistic disciplines I practice: sculpture, drawing, painting, photography, support and complement each other.
My work does not comment on reality, does not reflect it. Sometimes it refers to it in a symbolic or perverse way."
